The Qallupilluit part 2
Episode description
Today we go over the story of the Qallupilluk. Is it real or is it just a myth from Inuit folklore? No one really knows why these creatures love to take children. Perhaps they take children because they are lonely and like the company, or maybe they like how children taste, what if they are feeding off of their life force? Or may it be something even darker?
Many stories of the Qallupilluk tell of them wearing hidden clothing with large pouches on their back to carry children in. The Qallupilluk hides in the ocean, waiting for children to play alone on the beach or near the breaking ice floes.
Usually the Qallupilluk jump out of the water and grab children without any warning. Sometimes, however, you can hear them knocking under the ice singing a song trying to lure the children to there demise. Some elders have said that if the ocean begins to become wavy in an area or steam begins to rise from the ocean, a Qallupilluk might be hiding underneath the water so you better be careful. So the next time your family is on a vacation to see the northern lights, you just might want to be aware of where your children are playing because if you are not careful they might just be the next victim of the Qallupilluk.
